The recovery phase is over. It’s good to take a moment and savor the experience, sure, but there’s still a long way to go. So good job, me. Now get on it.

Over the weekend, I helped pace my girlfriend, Sydney, to a new p.r. in the 10k and did a little anniversary celebration run. We are very cute! The rest of the weekend, we looked at races for next year, including a 100-mile race for her(!).

The race schedule is pretty full, but the next hundred isn’t until July. Honey Badger 100. A big, self supported loop on country roads around a park in east/central Kansas. My main concern with this one is the heat. I may have heard some stories. I think I heard something about needing to get my shoes treated? *nervous noises*

In the meantime, it’s half marathon madness! Rock the Parkway is coming up, an outstanding race put on by kansas city running company. Followed by Mile 0 50k put on by the midwest endurance race company. The week after that, Sydney and I will sneak over to Boonville for the Do or Die 1/2 marathon. The month wraps up with the Top City 1/2 in Topeka. So, really, 1/2 marathon (and a 50k) madness month.

Time on feet! I’ve got it covered. I will also work on my fueling and power-hiking by working overtime hours. This is the longest break between hundreds in the slam, so I’m also trying to enjoy and rest up.
